What is ? • A secure, world-wide roaming wireless network access service developed for the research and education community. • Uses 802.1X for authentication and a hierarchical system of RADIUS servers • Started in 2002 in Europe, eventually came to U.S. ten years later.
What is ? • Connect local users to their local network • Connect visitors (from other eduroam institutions) to the local network • Connect local users to other participating networks.
Where is ? • All IU locations • 7 other I-Light members • 633 institutions across the U.S • 101 territories worldwide
How to setup Three RADIUS polices are needed: • Roaming user policy • Allows external campus user to authenticate • Local user policy • Allows campus user to authenticate locally • Proxy user policy • Forwards non-campus users to eduroam-us servers
Allows connections from eduroam-us RADIUS servers This removes the suffix from the USERID
This allows any domain that doesn’t match an IU domain to get proxied to the eduroam-us RADIUS servers.
eduroam will become the main SSID at IU • IU Secure will be retired in January 2020 • Other universities trending this direction • 32% use eduroam as primary SSID • Communication Plan to educate users
